FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Common Questions About
Custom Builds
How much does a custom build cost?
Custom builds vary based on design complexity, site conditions, and specifications. Senka custom homes typically start from $600K and scale with your design. Our fixed-price contract guarantees no hidden costs.
How long does a custom build take?
From initial design brief to handover, a typical Senka custom build takes 12 to 16 months. Design development usually takes 8 to 12 weeks, with construction following council approval.
Can I bring my own architect's plans?
Yes. We can work with existing plans and adapt them to our construction methodology, or our in-house architects can start fresh with your brief.
What's included in the design process?
Concept sketches, floor plans, 3D walkthroughs, material selections, engineering, and full council documentation. Unlimited revisions until you’re satisfied with every detail.
Do you handle council approvals?
Completely. We manage all planning permits, building permits, and council submissions. Our team has deep experience with councils across Melbourne.
